UNION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN (UfM)

The UfM Secretariat is the intergovernmental Euro-Mediterranean platform where political decisions are implemented and where concrete regional and subregional projects are developed with the support of an extensive network of partners, including governments, international organisations, financial institutions, civil society organisations, universities, foundations and the private sector.

In 2014, the UfM and CIHEAM signed a cooperation agreement to undertake joint initiatives to contribute towards higher education and food security in the EuroMediterranean region. Within the frame of this partnership, female students benefited of a women empowering project in the 4 Institutes of the CIHEAM. The UFM is also partner of the First Mediterranean Forum for PhD students and young researchers that will take place in CIHEAM-Montpellier the 18-19th July 2016.
